Hello!
Don't know, if or where this has been discussed, but it seems odd to me,
when artists shorten their songs on new remasters.

Examples:

Bruce Springsteen: "My Father's House" from "Nebraska"
the outro, which is about ~30 seconds long is completely not there anymore.

Neil Young: "When You Dance You Can Really Love" from "After The Gold Rush"
is faded about 21 seconds earlier on the pono version.

Do you have more information on this?

Well, on the other hand Slave on remastered Tattoo You is longer than on the original one ><

It's possible that there was damage to the original master tapes which dictated the earlier endings... But I'm guessing it's probably just a case of the artists continuing to tweak their music and they decided the outros didn't really serve the songs so they cut them.

Highly doubt this is a new trend. peace

From memory on the 40 Licks set they used edited versions on a
number of tracks and sliced about a minute from the end of It's Only Rock N Roll ........

Thats different. I think the OP means when artists recently have been releasing newly remastered versions of their albums, and the songs are edited on said original albums. I expect most things to be edited on a greatest hits, but that would be unconscionable if the Stones re-released the Its Only Rock And Roll Album and took out a minute and a half of the track.

Ahh yeah I get ya ....

Some stuff from Wikipedia...

Two different versions of "Luxury" exist. A shorter version of 4:30 is included on the early CD version from 1986, while the version of 5:01 was originally released on vinyl in Europe, and on the 1994 and 2009 CD remasters. The difference is the shorter version starts the fadeout 30 seconds earlier, and thereby missing the short guitar solo at the end.

One of the Rolling Stones' largest fan clubs goes by the name "It's Only Rock 'n Roll", though its members typically refer to it as "IORR".

That last line's not very important to the topic, just felt like leaving it there...

Didn't they do an early fade-out on Sad Eyed Lady Of the Lowlands
when it first went ta CD so it'd fit on the disc....... something like 45 seconds

Just like what the edits were on SUCKING IN THE SEVENTIES, the edit versions on FORTY LICKS were what were the "single" edits of said songs to fit a 45 (with exception to Miss You, which was the UK single mix on JUMP BACK and FORTY LICKS; REWIND had the LP/US single version). They also happened to allow more songs to fit on a compact disc version of the album. To their credit I didn't even notice IORR being shortened...

Was FORTY LICKS released on vinyl and if it was did it have the same edited songs?

No official vinyl release for Forty Licks, although it did get a bootleg version and not sure what's on that.

I guess I didn't listen to IORR all the way through because it's on 18 other albums so why bother? It wasn't until years later I saw the time on it and figured out it was shorter.

Slave on the new remastered Version is longer than on the original LP Version.

I love the outro for When You Dance...
